Abstract:
The reason for low extraction efficiency of AlGaInP light emitting diodes (LEDs) has been analyzed, and there is a significant gap between the internal efficiency of LEDs and their external efficiency. The reason is the narrow escape cone for light in high refractive index semiconductors. The application of nano-imprint lithography to AlGaInP based LEDs' surface texturing has been done, which is much easier for light to escape from the LED structure and thereby avoids absorption. In this paper, we have demonstrated nearly 100% improvement of luminous intensity in the nano-surface LEDs compared with LEDs with a flat surface. LEDs with nano-surface have higher extraction efficiency, lower heat generated and better optical characteristics than LEDs with a flat surface.
